One commenter responded that Seymour was “going green”.

“Surrounded by Greens,” another wrote.

Seymour told the Herald it was fortunate that the Epsom office car park was mostly empty at this time of year.

“I put something under the tree, like everyone said, but it’s gone horribly wrong,” he said.

It is unclear what caused the incident and how damaged the vehicle was.

This comes after his car made headlines earlier this year.

Seymour’s vehicle was spotted speeding and undertaking a motorist on State Highway 1 in Auckland in September.

In a video posted to Reddit, an Act-branded car with Seymour’s face on it can be seen passing a fellow motorist from the left-hand lane.

The person filming shows their speedometer, which sits at just under 110km/h, and then pans to the car with Seymour’s face on accelerating ahead.

According to the NZTA’s road rules, drivers can only pass on the left when there are two or more lanes on your side of the centre line and you’re able to pass safely by using the left-hand lane, a police officer gives direction to or if the vehicle being passed has stopped, is signalling a right turn or is turning right.

“At all other times when you’re passing, you must pass on the right,” the NZTA said.
